TopMBA Weekly Pulse December 1

To our US readers, we hope you had a great Thanksgiving! In the spirit of Thanksgiving, this week’s edition is chock full of blogs and updates from bloggers as it is quickly becoming that time of year.

Kicking if off for us is TopDogMBA whose inside look at his interview with INSEAD is enlightening. Hugo also tells us about his interviews in a seasonal twofer, with both MIT Sloan and Tuck being featured. EF Essays has a nice profile on Chicago Booth too!

Naija Girl MBA initial Plan A of getting into Stanford didn’t work out, but rather than falling back on Plan B, she’s simply come up with a new Plan A! She’s doing a fine job of keeping her chin up and making the best of the situation.

MBA on My Mind reminds us that there are still some people working hard on their GMAT studies (working  hard for the money). My Life of Bliss is busy making those short lists shorter so that she can focus on her top choices for schools.

Interested in knowing more about what sort of person is applying to top schools? Black Girl MBA on Campus explains her profile.

From PA to the World talks about some of the amazing speakers that Stanford GSB has brought in recently, while one of our favourite bloggers, Pathik Bhatt, discusses another excellent speaker in his latest post.

For any first years thinking about their summer internships already, Steven Ma has some great advice. Finally, a compelling post from Ciarán Reilly of UCD Smurfit on the subject of organizational behaviour.
